Life and Loss

WW1 Facts is designed to help you find reliable information about world war 1 as quickly and easily as possible. Between 1914 and 1918 more than 15 million men and women lost their lives as a direct result of the conflict, making it one of the deadliest wars in all of human history.

WW1 Facts, as the name suggests, will bring you all the facts about world war 1 and present them in a manageable form. There’s information about trench warfare and life on the frontline, the weapons and equipment used in the conflict, the soldiers and civilians involved and much, much more.

So whether you’re keen to learn about the Battle of the Somme or are just looking to read some world war 1 poetry WW1 facts is the perfect place to be.

Hopefully you enjoy reading these WW1 facts as much as I enjoy finding them. All the facts have been checked, and double-checked, and are correct to the best of my knowledge. As nearly 100 years have passed since the end of World War 1 facts are never going to be one 100% accurate. Historians never seem to agree with each other but where major differences occur I’ll be going with the consensus.

If you’ve got any WW1 facts of your own that you’d like to share please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d love to get as many of them as possible up on the site.
